Around 2000-2005 my grandfather, Carl McDaniel, W3HC (SK) (ex W3HCW) in Williamsport, PA sold his Model 15 KSR teletype to someone. I have no idea who. Below is a picture of the teletype in 1973, with me beside it.

When it was sold it was paired with a black equipment cabinet which the unit sat upon, rather than the table it is pictured on above. The cabinet contains the black panel mounted in the table shown above with a CRT for RTTY tuning in the upper left and some filler panels.

If you know where this teletype is located, please contact me at anthony.good@gmail.com. I would be willing to pay a good price for it, assuming its in reasonable condition. At the very least it would be nice to know who has it now as it has special value to me and my family.
